Question

Migrate User Fslogix Profile in a new domain AD

Raph Tico 1

Hello,
We use full profile container. We want to migrate profile VHDX in a new domain user.

We set new ACL on File VHDX, inside VHDX, inside Ntuser.dat, change with new SID but not works :

Error fslogix :
[ERROR:00000002] QueryBinaryValue (The specified file can not be found.)

Someone has already done this migration?
Maybe files/folders to removed?

Thanks

Hello JiaYou!

do you want to migrate fslogix profile of one domain user to another domain ? YES but with session's logoff
Just work on VHDX file.

Did this once.
The Environment was small so the Helpdesk did this as manual task.
No idea if this is the correct way but it worked for us.

Find the users SID in the new Domain, you will need it later
import-module ActiveDirectory
get-aduser testuser

Logoff the user
Rename the profile Folder as Administrator - replace old SID with new SID
Mount the VHDX as Administrator
Edit \Profile\Appdata\Local\fslogix\ProfileData.reg
Delete the line with "Sid" and the line with "Guid"
Replace the SID in the first line with the new SID.
Unmount the VHDX
Logon user with new Domain.

Thanks Thomas.

We'll give this a shot. I assume the one missing piece there is translating permissions within the profile (files and registry) itself.

Normally this is done via SID History in ADMT. Dont know how you did the AD migration...
